About Sheraton Suzhou Hotel & Towers (5 Star)
Legend has it that when Marco Polo visited Suzhou, he called it the "Venice of the East". Like Venice, Suzhou is a thriving commercial centre set in a location of incredible historic and natural beauty. To compliment this setting, Sheraton Suzhou Hotel & Towers, with stunning traditional Chinese architecture and beautifully landscaped gardens, conjures up visions of ancient China while providing the most modern accommodations and amenities to fulfill your every need.
The sloping, winged roof, echoing the grandeur of the Forbidden City, is where it all begins. From the classical architecture of ancient palaces and pagodas, to the charm of the local architecture, the hotel reflects the long history of Suzhou.
The Pagoda-shaped reception hall is open and simple, giving view to the magnificent gardens. Use of local stone adds to this simplicity, but gives a sense of the past, the same stone used for imperial palaces in Beijing. The hotel entrance is modeled on the famous Panmen Gate located nearby, the last vestige of the city walls which once surrounded ancient Suzhou, and four handcrafted roofs create a stunning reminder of days gone by.
Complemented by canals, a symbol of Suzhou, the gardens give the final touch to the hotel. Designed in the tradition of those that Suzhou is famous for, they provide an atmosphere of tranquility and peace.
